Thank you for this article. My husband’s dreams, prior to his death, were very vivid and, on waking, he could reach through his dementia and describe them in detail. Most of his speech had fallen away by then but the dream time brought his words back.

This is so powerful, Peg. Perhaps, as he was dying and dreaming, your husband was connecting with a Self that was larger than the physical self that couldn’t speak… words, images, immediate experiences and ways of conveying them might become available in the dreamworld even when the physical body is having more and more difficulty accessing means of communication… Who knows? Bless you for sharing this.

“In my view, dreams are much more accurately described as experiences—that is, conscious events one has personally encountered.... We live through our dreams as much as our waking lives.”

“Perhaps, in the end, there are no dreams intrinsically more healing than those that demonstrate that our separation is an illusion; that we are part of a living web that extends beyond our own skin and skull.”
